Readers!

 

My July fund-raising campaign to celebrate the fifteenth anniversary since I began Behind the Black is now over. I want to thank all those who so generously donated or subscribed, especially those who have become regular supporters. I can't do this without your help. I also find it increasingly hard to express how much your support means to me. God bless you all!

 

The donations during this year's campaign were sadly less than previous years, but for this I blame myself. I am tired of begging for money, and so I put up the campaign announcement at the start of the month but had no desire to update it weekly to encourage more donations, as I have done in past years. This lack of begging likely contributed to the drop in donations.

 

No matter. I am here, and here I intend to stay. If you like what I do and have not yet donated or subscribed, please consider supporting my work here at Behind the Black. You can support me either by giving a one-time contribution or a regular subscription. There are four ways of doing so:

 

1. Zelle: This is the only internet method that charges no fees. All you have to do is use the Zelle link at your internet bank and give my name and email address (zimmerman at nasw dot org). What you donate is what I get.

 

2. Patreon: Go to my website there and pick one of five monthly subscription amounts, or by making a one-time donation.
 

3. A Paypal Donation or subscription:

 

4. Donate by check, payable to Robert Zimmerman and mailed to

Federal judge gives the IRS 30 days to come clean

A federal judge has given the IRS 30 days to testify under oath how the Lois Lerner emails were lost.

This testimony will be far different than congressional hearings, in that it will be wide-ranging and will not have Democratic legislators present to provide cover. It will also not be under the time constraints that limit congressional hearings.

In related news, Congressman Steve Stockman (R-Texas) has filed a resolution calling for the arrest of Lois Lerner for contempt of Congress.

Genesis cover

On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.

 

The print edition can be purchased at Amazon. from any other book seller, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.


The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
 

"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

    Maybe the prospect of stiff fines and time behind bars will loosen lips.

    We know how prisoners deal with people who abuse children. But everyone has been abused by the IRS. Should be fun for her in prison.

    Like I said a long time ago.

    Prosecute the normal workers on anything and let them turn on her to get out of it. They have employee handbooks covering the right and wrongs and office security. And they know what rules and laws they themselves broke.

    Never attack the head alone.

    The government made statements about what the facts about enrollment in Obamacare was and now we do our due diligence and establish where actual truth exists to our best ability.

    The president apparently has very high approval numbers……….

    Among Muslims!

    Given time now we can more clearly see the actual affects of this particular president and his personal philosophy, his policies and his personal agenda. Congratulations Mr. president your a winner! (not among people who actually believe in upholding the American Constitution, the individual and individual freedom but among people who also believe as you do, socialists, communists, Marxists, Muslims etc. all synonyms for people who accept to live under the “guidance” / oppression of a “higher power”, whether that be an over bearing, over intrusive and controlling government or a religious belief system )

    Barack Obama, a most un American president.

  • Anything the pollsters have to say anymore is highly suspect, they can and will turn negatives into positives just in the way they phrase their questions, I do suspect that this poll is on the up and up though!
